luxury mills for sale The Loire Area, France

Ref 4899: Mill for sale in the Vendée, 17 km from Cholet It is a wooded countryside region, made up of gentle hills and small valleys where rural areas, woods and meadows alternate. You reach the mill via a small country road that winds down to the Sèvre Nantaise and ends there. It is a place where one would also like to stop, such is the sense of peace and tranquillity that reigns there. The mill stands along the Sèvre, in the heart of a wide valley. It faces west, overlooking unspoilt countryside and looking directly out onto the river, which can be accessed from its terrace, its islands or its garden. It is the ideal spot to recharge your batteries or, for the more adventurous, to enjoy a range of leisure activities: canoeing, kayaking, hiking, cycling… You can cross the river via the mill’s private embankment or, some fifty metres away, by a chain ferry. There is access all round to an extensive network of walking trails. The mill is situated near Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, which offers all the local amenities (cafés, bars, restaurants, bakeries, grocery shops, etc.). We are also very close to the vibrant town of Cholet, the main commercial hub of north-eastern Vendée with a catchment area of 100,000 inhabitants. The region is very lively and popular with tourists, featuring festivals, concerts and shows, leisure parks, the Cholet Carnival, the Maulévrier Oriental Park, and the châteaux of Tiffauges and Mortagne-sur-Sèvre… Just ten kilometres away, the Puy du Fou tourist attraction welcomes more than four million visitors a year.

In the Sarthe valley, near Sablé, an old mill with water rights on nearly 1 hectare. From the village, a street then a path descends toward the mill, bordered by its canal and the stream, beyond which are meadows surrounded by trees. While the mill's location is very old, the current building dates from the first half of the 19th century. An exclusive fishing right is attached to the property. The entrance is marked by a white-painted wooden gate that opens onto a paved courtyard, with the living quarters on one side and a garden and pool on the other. A walkway over the canal allows access to the sluices. Renovated, the mill consists of two buildings. The main wing, square in shape, is raised over two stories. The facades are plastered to reveal the stone and are pierced with openings, some of which are semi-circular with brick framing. An open loggia to the west overlooks the courtyard and the river. The gabled roof of tiles is topped with two Jacobin dormers. Another wing, rectangular, is raised over one level and is distinguished by its slate roofing.This description has been automatically translated from French.
